To Go With the Flows or to Flow With the Nodes? An Exploration of ‘post-disciplinary’ Theories of Movement in Space Syntax and Mobilities Research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
All too often the dialogue between space syntax and the social sciences pits space against society. For this reason the recent ‘mobilities’ turn in urban studies – stimulated by John Urry’s key (2007) text Mobilities – presents space syntax research with

Generative AI—the Transgression of Technology

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article offers a systems‐theoretical analysis of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) grounded in Niklas Luhmann's sociology of technology. It addresses a central conceptual problem: How GenAI can be understood within a theoretical framework that has traditionally defined technology as a means of stabilising action through causal ...
